It takes an important place in almost all homes of India. Making ghee from unsalted butter is a very easy process that gives pure and cheaper ghee than the store bought one.

How to make ghee?

Buy unsalted butter from the market.

Add the unsalted butter in a thick bottomed pan.

Heat the pan.

The butter will start to melt.

Keep the flame low.

After the butter melts, it will start to bubble.

Wait till the bubbling subsides.

After sometime, you can see clear portion which is the sign of ghee formation.

Before putting off the stove, add a strand of curry leaves or a strand of drumstick leaves. This gives nice aroma for the ghee. This is optional. If you cannot find curry leaves or drumstick leaves, then this step can be skipped.

You can switch off the stove.

Let it sit for sometime to reach room temperature. Once it reaches the room temperature, remove the curry leaves and drumstick leaves which are in fried state. This can be eaten which will taste heavenly.

Store the ghee in an air tight container.

Use dry spoon to take ghee from the container.

This ghee can be stored for longer period. There is no expiry date as far as I know. But try to use it within a year.
